What We're Looking Forward To: You don't have to love Tolkien to appreciate the sheer musical bombast involved in this event. Usually, only silent movies get the live-music accompaniment treatment. How often do you get to hear a swelling, cinematic score performed live to a contemporary film? Beyond that, you can count on this event to draw die-hard Ringheads out of their homes -- this is their pilgrimage to Mecca. (And you know what that means: costumes!)

Where and When: Radio City Music Hall; Friday and Saturday, October 9 and 10, 7:30PM.
